MetricAlgo Options

You are not looking for a winning trade. You are looking for a winning system.

We built a kind of calculator: it sets different rules against years of real prices and turns them into systems that are already measured, trade by trade. Today you will find 13,102 of them published, on 20 US markets. You choose them, try them on your own capital and, if you want, we let you know when it is time to enter.

The bar of the three phases inside MetricAlgo Options: Choose, Size, Apply, with the current phase highlighted and what you can do in it.
Inside the platform the three phases are always in view: they tell you where you are and what comes next.

First things first

A system is a ready-made rule, measured on history.

You do not build it and you do not need to know how to code: you choose it from the ones already calculated. Every system brings three things together.

  1. 1

    The structure

    What is bought or sold: a put sold, a call bought, a spread. On the platform you find it written in plain words, for example “Sell Put”.

  2. 2

    The right moment

    When to enter. For every market we measure how far the price went, and how far it never went, in every week and every month of recent years. It is a historical probability, not a forecast.

  3. 3

    The test

    The rule applied to all the history available, since 2010: every trade, the ones that went well and the ones that went badly, with the numbers that come out of it.

A high percentage is not enough.

A system that closes in profit 95% of the time but loses a lot in the other 5% can be worth less than one that wins less often. That is why every card also shows the losses, the worst periods and how long it took to recover.

The card of a system on SPY: 95% of trades in profit, 56 trades, a total return of 92.2%, the maximum loss and a radar chart of its performance.
The card of a system: how often it closed in profit, over how many trades, how much it lost at its worst moment.

The method

Three phases, and a system that passes from hand to hand.

Each phase takes the system from the one before and brings it one step closer to the market. It is always the same path, for every system and every market.

  1. 01

    Choose

    You look at systems already calculated.

    1. The library

      13,102 systems already calculated. You filter them, compare them and open the card of the ones that catch your eye. The ones that convince you, you save.

  2. 02

    Size

    You try it on your own capital.

    1. The watchlist

      Your short list: only the systems that convinced you. It is the way into this phase.

    2. The sized system

      The same system, rebuilt with your capital, your leverage and your broker’s commissions. Until you do this, the numbers you saw belong to someone else.

  3. 03

    Apply

    Only at the end do you turn it on.

    1. The active system

      From that moment we check the entry conditions for you, every market day.

    2. The notification

      When the conditions appear we let you know: in the app, by email, on Telegram or on Discord. You place the trade yourself, with your broker.

A real example

Same system, three amounts of capital, three different stories.

We took a system from the library, a monthly Sell Put on SPY that since 2010 has closed 53 of its 56 trades in profit, and sized it three times.

  • $10,000, no leverage0 trades out of 56

    The margin required is more than the capital allows: the system never starts. It is not within your reach, and it is better to know that beforehand.

  • $60,000, no leverage33 trades out of 56

    +5.15%, with a worst loss of 1.97%. Many trades are skipped because the margin is not enough.

  • $25,000, 5:1 leverage56 trades out of 56

    +37.05%, with a worst loss of 4.49%. It takes them all, but leverage multiplies gains and losses by the same amount.

A system is not good or bad in absolute terms: it is good or bad for your capital. That is why the Size phase cannot be skipped.

Simulations on historical data, with commissions of $0.65 per contract. These are not future results.

Follow this system through all seven steps →
The result of a simulation with 10,000 dollars: zero trades executed out of 56, final capital unchanged.
With $10,000 the system does not make a single trade: 0 out of 56.

What we do not do

MetricAlgo is not a broker.

It does not place orders for you, it does not manage your money and it does not give you personal advice. It measures, simulates and lets you know: the decision to enter and the order with your broker are always yours.

  • No automatic orders, ever
  • Works with any broker that offers options on the US market
  • A notification is not an order: it is information that arrives at the right moment
